About companions in BG3

[rik41]

Im about to start playing after finishing DOS 1 and 2, how many companions (have questline) do we have (like Jahan, Bairdotr, Wolgraff, Red Prince, Lohse,..) and can I finish their quests without having them in party? And do mods disable achievements in this game? Thanks

Six Major Companion Quest lines in addition to the Tav Main Quest line. A number of the later companions have Minor Quest lines as well.

Note that these Major Companion quest lines are not short, spanning almost the entire game.

Six. Shadowheart, Lae'zel, Karlach, Wyll, Astarion and Gale. These are the "origin characters" and have the most extensive stories. You can also play as them.

There are a couple other 'companions' you can recruit and have in your party - Minthara, Halsin, Minsc and Jaheira. They have less plot, but still some.

And finally there are 'camp followers' - characters that just hang out in your camp, but never actually join your party. There are a lot of these.

Also, since you can swap Companions in and out, it is easy enough to go get one if they are needed.

Note that Mods are not currently supported by Larian Studios and they do not take Mods into consideration when updating the game. You risk losing ALL your progression if a Mod modifies your Save file and then an update invalidates the Save due to the 'corrupted' data.
